OET interlinear MAT 26:45

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

ἔρχεται & λέγει

˱he˲_˓is˒_coming & ˓is˒_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you can use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [he came … said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

καθεύδετε τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἔρχεται πρός τούς μαθητάς καί λέγει αὐτοῖς Καθεύδετε τό λοιπόν καί ἀναπαύεσθε Ἰδού ἤγγικεν ἡ ὥρα καί ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἁμαρτωλῶν)

This sentence could be: (1) a rhetorical question that Jesus uses to rebuke the disciples. In this case, Jesus is disappointed that the disciples continue to sleep. Alternate translation: [You should not still be sleeping and resting!]; (2) a command to continue to sleep and rest. Jesus is using irony, that is, he is saying the opposite of what he means. Alternate translation: [You might as well sleep and rest now]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

καθεύδετε τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἔρχεται πρός τούς μαθητάς καί λέγει αὐτοῖς Καθεύδετε τό λοιπόν καί ἀναπαύεσθε Ἰδού ἤγγικεν ἡ ὥρα καί ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἁμαρτωλῶν)

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke Peter, James, and John. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [It is sad that you are still sleeping and resting.] or [You should not still be sleeping and resting!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

καθεύδετε τὸ λοιπὸν καὶ ἀναπαύεσθε

The terms sleeping and resting mean similar things. Jesus is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [Are you still taking your rest] or [Are you still sleeping soundly]

The word Behold draws the attention of the disciples and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Behold with a word or phrase that asks someone to listen, or you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Listen] or [Take note:]
